Tapciify

CLI tool that can let you view images/videos in terminal as ASCII

Requirements

  1. CC linker (Microsoft Visual Studio with C++ Support) (Linux - gcc)

  2. Rust

Install

bash cargo install tapciify

View image

  1. Run: tapciify -i imagePath -w imageWidth for image.

  2. Run: tapciify -i imagePath -w imageWidth -r for reversed colors.

View video

In this example I set framerate to 24 (but you can use any another)

Requires ffmpeg

  1. Make frames from video into dir:

bash mkdir frames; ffmpeg -i badapple.mkv -r 24 frames/%08d.jpeg

  1. Run:

bash tapciify -i frames/* -w videoWidth -f 24
